The Homer Laughlin China Company showcased a new Fiesta collection based on casual, buffet-style entertaining at the International Home + Housewares Show.

“Buffet-style entertaining, alongside casual dining, continues to grow in importance, with some of the top items in Fiesta centering on entertaining,” said Rich Brinkman, vp/sales and marketing for Homer Laughlin. “This new collection features a variety of colorful pieces that make any event festive, but also lend versatility, functionality and visual interest to your buffet table.”

The collection includes new Fiesta appetizer plates that will be sold open stock, and available for shipping in August. The plates have a MAP price of $7.99 and will be available in the solid colors of Lapis, Black, White, Shamrock, Turquoise, Peacock, Cobalt, Plum, Scarlet, Tangerine, Sunflower, Ivory, Lemongrass, Paprika and Fiesta’s new color for 2014, Poppy.

In addition, the company’s Fiesta beverage server features a top and base made of Fiesta’s fully vitrified ceramic and is available in the following colors: Scarlet, Sunflower, Lemongrass, Turquoise and Lapis. The middle is a 2-quart glass container with a plastic chromed spout. The beverage server will be $199.99 MAP. It will be available to ship May 15.
